报告内容简介:

Approximately 90% of the world’s power is generated by heat engines that use  fossil fuel combustion as heat source and typically operate at 30–40%  efficiency. This means that roughly 15 terawatts of heat is lost to the  environment. Moreover, only 1/3 of energy from petrol combustion of auto engine  is used to drive vehicle. How to harvest and manipulate heat is not only a  technical problem but also a social, economic and political problem.
In this talk I will present several ways of harvesting heat energy  through phononic thermal devices such as thermal diode, thermal transistor etc  [1], and devices from thermal metamaterials such as thermal cloak, thermal  collector and so on.
